CAR SPOTLIGHT>> SLICK HOMEBREWED UK MITSU EVO VI

Filed under: Time Attack, Evo, Mitsubishi, Carl Jarrett, car build, hill climb  

I had to share this car with you all, very impressive work went into this Evo VI and it was almost all done by one chap named Clive over in the good ol UK. First off, everything except for the cage, the paint, and the engine mapping was done by Clive himself, who is an Aircraft Engineer by trade, so everything you see below, was done by him in his spare time at home. I was checking out what was going on over at http://www.timeattackforums.com and I came across someone who saw this build-up thread...

RANDOM SNAP>> NEATO EVO TIME ATTACK LIVERY

Filed under: Time Attack, livery, Mitsubishi, Carl Jarrett, evo 8  

Saw this rad looking Evo 8 on www.timeattackforums.com , its a 2003 with a 2.3L stroker engine and GT35 turbo. The livery is an interesting take of urban camo mixed with gloss yellow and black on the rest of the car. - Carl Jarrett

RANDOM SNAP >> BAMF WIDEBODY 8-SERIES ON MK1'S

Filed under: BMW month, deep dish, widebody, 8-series  

This is the nicest looking BMW 8 I've ever seen hands down, just wish I had more/better pictures of it. I love the deep lipped MK Motorsport MK-1's, I sported a set on my 328is. Anyone have any more info on this car? Its been around for a long time, it has a Zeemax widebody kit from what I can tell. - Carl Jarrett

CAR FEATURE>> FERRARI 458

Filed under: Car Feature, Ferrari, Carl Jarrett  

Ferrari just announced thier replacement of the Ferrari F430, the all-new 458 Italia. Set to be launched next year, the new mid-engined Ferrari will sport a new 4.5 litre flat-plane crank V8 as usual, but this time with direct-injection delivering a whopping 562hp at an insane 9000rpm and 398lb-ft of torque, highest revving engine ever for a Ferrari production road car I think. The new direct-injection engine can come mated to Ferrari's new seven speed dual clutch gearbox, I don't know about...

AUTOLIFE>> OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW?

Filed under: RX7, Cobra, Carl Jarrett, Autolife, project car  

Last week I said goodbye to a dear friend, she's gone, thats it, no more.. I spent 3 years of my life building this beast, and drove it for another 2 1/2 years, flogged it on the track a bunch, and generally had a blast, but like all good things, it came to an end. While selling a car is always a tough thing, I did at least get the joy knowing the new owner will take great care of it, and I have never sold anything to anyone so excited in thier life, he's definitely deserving, and I'm...

EVENT>> VANCOUVER CUSTOM CAR SHOW

Filed under: corvette, Carl Jarrett, Vancouver custom car show, muscle cars, hot rods  

I went to this show here in Vancouver about a week ago, and I'm afraid to admit, I was a little underwhelmed! I mean, there was lots of great cars, but really nothing that exciting, I guess thats what going to the big shows like SEMA and NAIAS do to you, take the edge off the excitement of anything lesser. Anyways, there were still some interesting cars there, and I'm going to take you on a short journey through some of the images from the show. The above image is a fairly stock Corvette...

CAR SPOTLIGHT >> RAD RED MIATA COUPE

Filed under: Time Attack, Mazda, Miata, sema, Carl Jarrett  

Inspired by recent posts, and since Mike is building up his Miata, I'm posting on of the raddest Miata's I've seen. I've never been a huge fan of them, probably because I'm 6'4" and would look silly driving one.. but this one really tightens my screws.. I think the only thing that could make this Miata look even meaner, is bigger wheels with a more aggresive offset, but I doubt it'd make a positive difference in lap time, which this car was built for. Love the hardtop...

CARLIFE >> INTRODUCTION TO CARL JARRETT

Filed under: BMW, M3, EA, NFS, Carlife, Cobra, Carl Jarrett  

Figured its about time to make my introduction, its been a long time coming, but over the past few months, I've become a big fan of SpeedHunters, and I'm happy to now be a contributer! Turn 2 at Mission Raceway in my FFR. Getting ready in the pits at Mission in my ex-M3. Turn 6 at Mission, where I realized my rearview mirror is the perfect height to block my view of the apex. It all started when as a kid, my dad took me to the Molson Indy in Vancouver, BC, full access pit passes for the Indy...

RANDOM SNAP>> MAZDA RX7 FC3S TIME ATTACK BUILD

Filed under: Random Snap, Time Attack, FC3S, RX7, Mazda, Carl Jarrett, build  

I don't have much information on this car, but it's a pretty rad looking build for a tin top race car. All the front subframe is aluminum, and it all looks hand fabricated too. Anyone else have any more information on this car? - Carl Jarrett
